3. Take Advantage Of Sites Like Groupon

Typically, dining out in style is reserved for special occasions — or at the very least, weekends — because of the cost. With sites like Groupon and LivingSocial, on a weeknight you can go out to the kind of fancy dinner that ordinarily wouldn’t be in your day-to-day budget. Just be sure to tip your waiter on what the full amount of the bill would have been without the coupon.
